[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Kinematics of a former oceanic plate of the Neotethys revealed by deformation in the Ulukışla basin (Turkey)
Kinematic reconstruction of modern ocean basins shows that since Pangea breakup a vast
area in the Neotethyan realm was lost to subduction. Here we develop a first‐order …

Rapid late Miocene surface uplift of the Central Anatolian Plateau margin
Abstract The Central Anatolian Plateau (CAP), Turkey, is bordered to its south by a steep
mountain belt that emerged∼ 8–7 Ma ago from the Mediterranean Sea. Knowledge of the …

Paleoenvironmental conditions and drainage evolution of the central Anatolian lake system (Turkey) during late Miocene to Pliocene surface uplift
Abstract Continued Africa-Eurasia convergence resulted in post–11 Ma surface uplift of the
Central Anatolian Plateau (CAP) and the westward escape of the Anatolian microplate …

Tectonic reconstruction of Cyprus reveals Late Miocene continental collision of Africa and Anatolia
PJ McPhee, DJJ van Hinsbergen - Gondwana Research, 2019 - Elsevier
The extended northern continental margin of Africa is currently colliding with and under-
thrusting northward below Cyprus. The age of onset of this collision is poorly constrained …

Preparing the ground for plateau growth: Late Neogene Central Anatolian uplift in the context of orogenic and geodynamic evolution since the Cretaceous
Abstract Central Anatolia (Turkey) is a small and nascent example of a high orogenic
plateau, providing a natural laboratory to study processes driving plateau rise. The 1-km …

Geological evolution of a tectonic and climatic transition zone: the Beyşehir-Suğla basin, lake district of Turkey
Central-west Turkey is a transition zone both tectonically and climatically between the quite
different central and western regions of Anatolia. Central Anatolia represents the seismically …

Paleomagnetic constraints on the timing and distribution of Cenozoic rotations in Central and Eastern Anatolia
To quantitatively reconstruct the kinematic evolution of Central and Eastern Anatolia within
the framework of Neotethyan subduction accommodating Africa–Eurasia convergence, we …
